Go back to the categories of Error Identifiers.

CMDLVM

Error Description: DISK OPERATION ERROR

This error is logged by the logical volume manager (LVM).

DETAIL DATA

Physical Volume ID of physical volume where error occurred.

LVM BBDIR90

Error Description: BAD BLOCK DIRECTORY OVER 90% FULL

This message is issued when the bad block directory is over 90% full during an operation to update it. When this directory is full, bad blocks cannot be relocated.

DETAIL DATA

Current Number Of Entries
                          Number of entries in the bad block directory.

LVM BBDIRBAD

Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE--PV NO LONGER RELOCATING NEW BAD BLOCKS

A bad block relocation attempt by the LVM has failed. The bad block directory on the physical volume has been corrupted.

DETAIL DATA

Block Number Number of the bad block.

LVM BBDIRERR

Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE--PV NO LONGER RELOCATING NEW BAD BLOCKS

An update operation on the bad block directory has failed due to the reason indicated by the error code. Any bad blocks on this DASD that have not already been relocated will not be relocated.

DETAIL DATA

Directory Operation
                          The directory operation, if any, the system was working on at the time of the error.

LVM BBDIRFUL

Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE

A bad block relocation operation has failed because the bad block directory on this DASD is full. Any bad blocks on this DASD that have not already been relocated will not be relocated.

LVM BBEPOOL

Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE--PV NO LONGER RELOCATING NEW BAD BLOCKS

The bad block relocation pool has no free blocks left. Therefore, any bad blocks on this DASD that have not already been relocated will not be relocated.

LVM BBFAIL

Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE--PV NO LONGER RELOCATING NEW BAD BLOCKS

A bad block relocation attempt by the LVM failed due to a cause other than a media error. The cause is indicated by the error code.

DETAIL DATA

Block Number Number of the bad block.

LVM BBRELMAX

Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE--PV NO LONGER RELOCATING NEW BAD BLOCKS

An attempt at hardware relocation followed by the maximum number of attempts at software relocation have all failed for the stated bad block. No more relocations will be attempted on this physical volume.

DETAIL DATA

Block Number Number of the bad block.

LVM HWFAIL

Error Description: HARDWARE DISK BLOCK RELOCATION FAILED

A hardware relocation operation initiated by LVM for a bad disk block has been unsuccessful. This could be due to hardware limitations.

DETAIL DATA

Block Number Number of the bad block.

LVM HWREL

Error Description: HARDWARE DISK BLOCK RELOCATION ACHIEVED

A hardware disk block relocation initiated by the LVM was successful.

DETAIL DATA

Block Number Number of the bad block.

LVM MISSPVADDED

Error Description: PHYSICAL VOLUME DEFINED AS MISSING

During the varyon procedure for a volume group, a physical volume was missing. The physical volume could be powered off or physically missing.

LVM MISSPVRET

Error Description: PHYSICAL VOLUME IS NOW ACTIVE

A previously missing or removed physical volume has become active.

LVM MWCWFAIL

Error Description: MIRROR CACHE WRITE FAILED

A write operation to update the mirror write consistency cache failed.

DETAIL DATA

Block Number Number of the bad block.

LVM SA FRESHPP

Error Description: PHYSICAL PARTITION MARKED ACTIVE

A formerly stale copy of a mirrored partition has been marked fresh. This could be due to its location on a formerly missing physical volume that became available and for which the syncvg command has been issued.

DETAIL DATA

Physical Volume Device Major/Minor
                          The device number of the major/minor physical volume.
Logical Volume Device Major/Minor
                          The device number of the major/minor logical volume.

LVM SA WRTERR

Error Description: FAILED TO WRITE VOLUME GROUP STATUS AREA

A write operation to update the volume group status area did not complete successfully. The volume group status area contains the status of mirrored partitions and of the physical volumes.

LVM SA PVMISS

Error Description: PHYSICAL VOLUME DECLARED MISSING

A physical volume is missing while the system is writing a volume group status area (VGSA). The VGSA contains the status of mirrored partitions and of physical volumes.

LVM SA STALEPP

Error Description: PHYSICAL PARTITION MARKED STALE

A copy of a mirrored partition has been marked stale. This could be due to its location on a missing physical volume at the time the partition is updated.

DETAIL DATA

Physical Volume Device Major/Minor
                          The device number of the major/minor physical volume.
Logical Volume Device Major/Minor
                          The device number of the major/minor logical volume.

LVM SA QUORCLOSE

Error Description: QUORUM LOST, VOLUME GROUP CLOSING

If a plurality of volume group status areas are not active, then the volume group is shut down. The check of the quorum count is done whenever a physical volume is missing during a volume group status area update.

DETAIL DATA

Quorum Count The number of the status areas that reside in the volume group.
Active Count The number of active status areas in the volume group.

LVM SWREL

Error Description: SOFTWARE DISK BLOCK RELOCATION ACHIEVED

A software disk block relocation initiated by the LVM was successful.

DETAIL DATA

Block Number Number of the bad block.
